(OVER) FPC Free Old El Paso Restaurante Seasoning Packs (save)

[thriftygranny]

Safeway had them out west here. But the packages pictured on the coupon were different from what the actual products looked like- thought the cashier would give me grief but she didn't notice.

Strange mine looked the same, it is clearly marked "NEW' on the right hand corner and had the same orange banding as one of the ones in the picture

[Arvilish]

I didn't get the email - am I the only one in the West? Do I assume it's available?

Me neither and I am in Saskatoon and have seen them but forgot to redeem the coupon today [distracted by Brooksides]...not that I will use the kit coupon [as I have never tried them] so I am indifferent. Honestly, I grabbed the coupon without thinking #Troll

A seasoning package is very clearly not a kit. Nothing "weird" about it.

The dictionary says a package means a bundle of something, a group, usually packed in a box. A kit also means a case containing a set of materials.

If the coupon refers to a seasoning product, it should clearly states a seasoning "MIX" or should clearly states it is a seasoning product. Since I've never seen a "MIX" and never heard of the seasoning product of OLD EL PASO, it's naturally for me to take it as a package or KIT which contains the seasonings and pitas.


It's really weird that a coupon doesn't clearly identify which product it's intended for. There's no CLEAR product information such as product NAME, Weight and so on, only some some pictures. However, usually many coupons' pictures don't exactly match the products. Sometimes, many coupons only take one product's picture but might be applicable to "ANY one " of the manufacturers' products.

The coupon let me waste my time for some expired food, it's rather WEIRD for me to use a problematic coupon for some FOOD that's already expired 2 months ago!!! There are even more expired food on the shelf waiting for purchase

Since I only have 2 posts and can't copy link, I'd like to copy the dictionary's explanation about "PACKAGE" (My coupon states "PACKAGE", not pouch or packet):

noun
1.
a bundle of something, usually of small or medium size, that is packed and wrapped or boxed; parcel.
2.
a container, as a box or case, in which something is or may be packed.
3.
something conceived of as a compact unit having particular characteristics:
That child is a package of mischief.
4.
the packing of goods, freight, etc.
5.
a finished product contained in a unit that is suitable for immediate installation and operation, as a power or heating unit.
6.
a group, combination, or series of related parts or elements to be accepted or rejected as a single unit.
7.
a complete program produced for the theater, television, etc., or a series of these, sold as a unit.

Anyway, I might have wrongly used a problematic coupon, that makes me feel uneasy that the coupon might cause some trouble for the cashier and the store, although the food have already expired 2 months.

My neck is sore from shaking my head. That is all.

You are right!! The "bundle of something" is the bundle of mix. The mix itself is loose therefore needs to be packaged

No clue what the issue is but I'm looking forward to the kit - I will have some for trade as well.. Did I mention that??

I'll be keeping my eyes posted on the trading forum for the kit!

Whoever posted that they had not seen the seasoning package in stores was right on the money!
Three stores visited last night and not one had even a shelf label for the Restaurante seasoning pack.
Food Basics-only had the Restaurante kits
Fortino's-the kits and the sauce in jars
Walmart-the kits and sauce in jars.
I noticed that Fortino's has the regular Old El Paso kits on sale for $3.99. Walmart had something-Old El Paso taco bowls and shell kits for $2 something in the main aisle in the grocery section.

Saw the e-mail in my account this morning-I missed seeing it Thursday night as I did not check my e-mails again before leaving (was busy looking for contests) the computer area.

I think that is the very reason for the email though.. The seasoning packets are only in the west.

The coupon clearly stated it's for 1 pack of OE seasoning product. The store won't get their money back FOR SURE since they don't even carry this new product yet.

The tortilla picture on their package mislead me, since I never know OE has separate seasoning product.

I misunderstand the coupon from the beginning, even before applying for it. If I knew it's for a seasoning mix, I wouldn't even order it.

Many years ago I've tried the dinner kit which has a seasoning bag in it, but my hub refused to eat the meat and told me not to use the seasonings anymore, then I had to throw away the seasonings and only eat tortillas.

Since the expired food is already in the garbage chute and can't be returned back, I'll submit the replacement coupon to the store's customer service desk after receiving it.

I should be more careful reading coupons, not letting the others in trouble.

lol - i didn't think she was being sarcastic.. funny thread this is..
